2.   Q: The fax gets sent but just hangs in the queue forever.

     A: You need to have the "faxrunqd" daemon running in the background.
        faxrunqd is a perl script that comes with mgetty/vgetty. It is used
        to send fax jobs queued by faxspool.

        You should have is start automatically at boot time.
        Add it to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

              echo "Starting faxrunqd"
              exec /usr/local/sbin/faxrunqd >> /var/adm/messages 2>&1 &

     Q: But I don't have "perl" installed
          messages:

     A: Time to get a newer LINUX distribution. Or if you are adventurous
          It is available from :
          http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src

3.   Q: What is the "GV VIEW" button used for?

     A: If you have ghostview/ghostscript installed on your system you can
         view the "FILES to FAX" before you send them. Most modern distibutions
         of LINUX have this already installed or you could get them from here:
 
        Ghostscript is available from:
        http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/index.htm
 
        Ghostview is available from:
        http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gv/gv.htm
 
4.   Q: What is the "tkVOICE" button used for?
 
     A: If you receive a FAX you can view it with "tkVOICE" and print it out.
        tkVOICE also turns your computer into a telephone answering machine
        using vgetty for the low-level calls to your voice modem. If you do
        not have a voice modem turn off the voice stuff and just use it to
        view your FAX's recieved by mgetty.
 
        tkVOICE is another TCL script written by me and is available from:
 
        http://tkvoice.netfirms.com/
        ftp://alpha.greenie.net/pub/mgetty/tools/
